Positive Effects Of Consuming Anti Inflammatory Foods

By Annabelle Holman


Inflammation can be caused by things you eat. If your diet is based on inflammatory food, it will increase your chances for cardiovascular diseases and other health problems. You can even feel pain more intensively, especially pain related to arthritis, if your diet isn't properly balanced. Anti inflammatory foods have numerous positive effects on your health as well as on your weight.

All types of junk food, high fat meat, highly processed food, trans fats, sugar and refined flour have inflammatory effect on your organism. Although most things you consume have some effect on your blood sugar level and increase it, good stuff will increase it slowly, and junk food will increase it sharply, causing all kinds of harmful processes in your body.

Anti inflammatory food has entirely different effect on your body. It reduces inflammation and ensures proper functioning of your entire organism. Strangely, but it also decreases the level of pain. Anti.inflammatory diet is based on fresh and unrefined ingredients. Fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain bread, low-fat and non-fat milk products, preferably organic, walnuts, soy and all other food rich in minerals, vitamins, anti-oxidants and healthy fatty acids.

Fruits are especially valuable. Brightly colored fruits and berries are rich with anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants fight free radicals and help you stay healthy and young, and protect your skin and beauty as well. Mono-saturated fats contained in avocado, for example, are also highly valuable, especially if you need additional source of plant-based proteins. Low fat meat is also allowed.

Healthy fats contained in nuts, avocado, seeds, olive and canola oil and some other foods are essential for preserving physical and psychical health. Your brain needs them to be able to work. Low-fat meat, fish and seafood are great sources of these healthy fats and Omega-3 amino acids. Calculate our calorie intake, but include these valuable foods in your diet.

Great anti-inflammatory sources of protein are fish and seafood. Avoid canned and processed fish, choose fresh, frozen or even smoked instead. Tuna steak is ready for only few minutes, it tastes great and you can prepare it really simply in your kitchen. High quality salmon and cheap sardines are equally beneficial, as long as you don't deep fry them.

Drink water, spring or mineral one, natural fruit and vegetable juices, herbal teas or even coffee. Don't add sugar, but use stevia instead. Don't drink sweet industrial beverages. The most valuable fruits and vegetables are dark green and brightly colored ones. Avoid adding salt in vegetable juices. One banana a day is perfectly enough, it is really rich in calories. Apricots contain vitamin B-17, and are really healthy, even when dry.

This type of diet is really very healthy one. It contains fresh ingredients, very low levels of sugars, fats and refined food, in fact, it is very similar to Mediterranean food. Almonds, fish, olive oil, fresh fruits and vegetables, very small amounts of lean meat. This food is easy to prepare, full of valuable nutrients and highly beneficial. You are allowed to drink some coffee, it has similar effect, too.
